We consider the protection of
all personally identifiable information we receive
from our Web site visitors and customers as critical
to our mission. Please be assured that we have
security measures in place to protect against
the loss, misuse, and alteration of any information
we receive from you. As with any transmission
over the Internet, however, sending personal information
always involves some element of risk. To minimize
this risk, we encrypt all information that you
submit when ordering our products or services
using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

Further, we assure you that we use the information
we gather from you only for the purposes and in
the manner explained below.

Sending you responses and updates

Our policy is to respond to email questions, requests
for product or service information, and other
inquiries that we receive. We may also retain
this correspondence to improve our products, services,
and Web site, and for other disclosed purposes.
Frequently, we retain contact information so that
we can send updates or other important information
about our services and products. Occasionally,
these updates and other important information
may be sent by third parties on our behalf. Please
be assured that any third party who contacts you
in this capacity has executed a confidentiality
agreement with us that contains provisions ensuring
the privacy and security of any transferred information
and limiting the third partys use of the
shared information to sending updates or providing
service on our behalf.

Facilitating the support, renewal, and purchase
of our products and services

We may use the information you submit to contact
you to discuss the support, renewal, and purchase
of our products and services. We may also provide
the information you submit to a subsidiary, business
partner, representative, or affiliate (either
within or outside the United States) so that the
subsidiary, business partner, representative,
or affiliate can contact you and facilitate the
support, renewal, and purchase of A.C.E.
products and services. You may receive a communication
directly from one of our subsidiaries, business
partners, representatives, or affiliates. Please
be assured that any subsidiary, business partner,
representative, or affiliate who contacts you
for one of these purposes has agreed to use the
information we supply in accordance with a confidentiality
agreement. To request the names and locations
of subsidiaries, business partners, representatives,
or affiliates to whom we have provided your information,
please contact us at:

Processing payments (if you order from our online
Store)

If you order from our online Store, we may provide
your personal information to appropriate financial
institutions, processors, and third parties under
contract with the A.C.E. to provide
a subset of the payment services (for example,
tax calculation or fraud screening). In each case,
your personal information will be used by such
entity solely for its internal use in connection
with fulfilling transaction services for the School
of Tomorrow, will be treated as confidential by
this entity, and will be transferred between the
A.C.E. and this entity only via encrypted
means.

If we are required to disclose the information
by law

If we are required by law to disclose certain
information to local, state, federal, national,
or international government or law enforcement
authorities, we will do so. (For example, we may
disclose the identity of purchasers of certain
software products to the U.S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Export Administration, as required under
the terms of our export licenses.)

In connection with surveys

From time to time, we may request information
from our customers via surveys. Participation
in these surveys is completely voluntary, and
respondents, therefore, can choose whether or
not to disclose the information. Survey information
will be used for purposes of monitoring customer
satisfaction or improving this Web site.

Opting out of future notifications

From time to time, we notify our customers of
new products, upgrades, and updates. If you prefer
not to receive these notifications, please contact
